The Senate on Thursday eliminated filibusters of most presidential nominations. This changes a rule that had been in place more than 200 years. The change means federal judge nominees can be confirmed by a simple majority of senators, rather than a 60-vote majority. The change doesn’t apply to Supreme Court nominations. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Democrats will rue the change once Republicans get back in power in the Senate and the White House. Is this change unwise? Or overdue?
